Baron Hanrahan looked ready to explode when Isabell said that the Town of Hanrahan and even his entire Barony weren't worth fighting for. He might not be someone who had marched on the front lines during the War of Inches, but by the Holy Lord of Light, he'd done his part! He'd fought to protect this town!
No demon raid on the supply lines through Hanrahan Barony had ever succeeded during the entire war, and he'd turned his very own manor into a safe haven where the priests could gather and the wounded could be treated within the security of his fortress walls. He had done his part to secure the future of his family and his people!
Unfortunately, one glance at Owain's calm, calculating expression was all it took to know that further outbursts would only be counterproductive. His job had been to rage, rebuke, provoke, and do whatever it took to draw Master Isabell and Master Tiernan into making a commitment for the upcoming war.
